Live Review : Spread Eagle + Warrior Soul + New Generation Superstars @ The Motorsport Lounge, Llandudno on September 13th 2025

They do say that once is never enough, so it’s with a great deal of pleasure that we head back to the Motorsport Lounge for a second round of splendid music in a good setting. This time we get the grand tour, including the garage which now houses some of the classic vehicles that used to be on display here. It’s always good to learn something about both the history and the future plans of a decent venue, and it seems that the Motorsport Lounge is going to go from strength to strength in the coming months and years. Watch this space!

Live Review : Mad Haven + No Favors + Flint Guitar School @ The Motorsport Lounge , Llandudno on September 12th 2025

Tonight we are here to celebrate the return of local band Mad Haven in their hometown venue. The nucleus of the band, guitarist/vocalist Tom Rogowski and drummer Alex (his brother) have had a rough time of it this year. Events unfolded which pulled the rug of their planned future out from under them, so it’s good to see them here again recovering their poise and smiles with their original band.

The Motorsport lounge has undergone something of a transformation since our last visit. Although the original upstairs bar and stage remain, tonight they were in darkness as we tested a new, bigger stage with a new, bigger bar and a new, better sound on the ground floor. Pleased to report that all was good!

Live Review : Wicked Smile + Stone Three + Cassidy Paris @ Motorsport Lounge, Llandudno on November 22nd 2022

A word about the venue first as this is the first time I’ve been there. It’s a bit of a trek along the A55 to Llandudno on a week night, but very worth it when you get there. The venue is on the edge of a little industrial estate and there’s plenty of on-road parking nearby. You enter on the ground floor and pass a small collection of classic cars and motorbikes, then up some stairs and here we are. There’s a big lounge (with lots of comfy sofas for the Grumpy One) and then the live room with stage at one end and bar at the back.
